Sarah Slater's death certificate

[SSlater]

Before I say anything, I want you (and everyone else) to know, I want you to think for yourself. I study these events, everyday, and often change my mind. All I'm saying is this is how I see it right now.
I can't say this is how it is. None of us can.

Beginning in Washington, March 25, Surratt and Sarah were in D.C. Sarah was on her way to Richmond. Surratt, apparently, had something else on his mind, he didn't want to go to Richmond. But, He escorted her to the Potomac where anther man was to take over. This is contrary to all that had been the system. However, the man who was to go, backed-out, and Surratt did go to Richmond.

This is a little early to be talking about assassinations, but it would have been about the time when "Harney's Mission" would have been in development, most likely in Richmond,

After a short stay in Richmond, Surratt and Sarah departed Richmond on April 1st. for Washington, and on to Canada. Harney departed Richmond on April 1st, for Gordonsville, VA.

Surratt was in Canada only a few days when (if you believe) General E. G. Lee tagged Surratt for a trip to Elmira. Sarah had no assignments (that we know of) so she went with him.

The reason behind the new-born interest in Elmira was Gen. E.G.Lee,
Lee had been sent to Canada to organize the escaped Confederate Prisoners living there, into a new Confederate Army. Obviously, there were not enough men available, so, he wanted to "go get some. (The same thinking created a look at Point Lookout in Maryland>)

In Lafayette Baker's "History of the U.S. Secret Service", there is a lengthy story about Surratt's train ride back to Montreal. Surratt is clearly identified, and he is travelling with an un identified "Little man". (Sarah was less than 5'-o" tall.) The "Little man" was bundled up to His/Her ears, so that His/Her features were hidden.. He/she was not permitted to talk during an interrogation. Surratt answered all the questions. Surratt and the "Little man" rode mostly on the platform, between the cars, away from all others.

When Surratt arrived in Montreal, April 18th +/-, and signed the St. Lawrence Hall Register - John Harrison. The next signature - in the same handwriting, is "A, Reynaud". A. Reynaud, is Sarah's mother's maiden name. Sarah was with Surratt in Elmira.

Back to April 1st, and Harney. Harney reached Upperville, and Mosby, about April 5th. Left Upperville about April 8th, and without the details, captured April 10th, and jailed.

Booth, in the meantime, was meeting with the "New York Crowd" and getting brought up to date on the plan to "Blow up the White House". He returned to Washington April 8th, and told Atzerodt about the plan that would get the Pres, certain. Therefore, Booth knew that Richmond had proposed, planned, developed, and approved an dispatched an Agent, to get the Pres, Certain. As that plan faltered and failed, Booth fired off messages to Surratt - Come Home, there have been some changes. Surratt could not change his Orders from a General, to satisfy a raving cohort, without approval. He finished at Elmira first. AMEN! NUFFF SAID1

More, for John. Unfortunately for us, almost everyone , for the prosecution, in the various trials, after the War - LIED. and later were proved to have LIED, and the prosecution, knew it. The U.S. could not afford to lose one case. I read what they say, and I look for support -there is none. BUT, Surratt did not lie to Ste. Marie, in Italy - He was in New York on the 14th. Elmira is in New York
